Eclipse Formatter settings for comment length ignored

I have a custom, Eclipse Formatter XML preference file that includes the following Eclipse JDT formatter setting for comment length:

<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.comment.line_length" value="120"/>

I have noticed that, when formatting the code using this settings, comments were always formatted to 80 columns, regardless of the value used. When opening > Java: Open Java Formatter Settings with Preview using the Command Palette, and navigating to the comment section, I noticed that the value in Maximum comment line length is set to 80 -- check out the image below. When modifying this value, my XML file is updated to include the following setting:

<setting id="comment_line_length" value="120"/>

It seems that the formatter is picking up its default setting for line length, which is a property name different than the Eclipse JDT Core formatter setting.

Environment

• Operating System: Amazon Linux 2 (running through SSH)
• JDK version: 8
• Visual Studio Code version: the latest (Nov 2023 release)
• Java extension version: v1.24.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create an Eclipsed Formatter XML file containing the setting org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.comment.line_length with a value different than 80.
2. Write a comment that goes over 80 or the value set for the property above.
3. Format the code and see the comment being limited to 80 despite the value used in the property above.

Current Result

Comments are formatted to the default value set by comment_line_length instead of the value set by org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.comment.line_length.

Expected Result

Comments should be formatted using org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.comment.line_length when available.

Riproduci il problema con un file XML di Eclipse Formatter e il comando Java: Open Java Formatter Settings with Preview, confrontando org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.comment.line_length con comment_line_length. Traccia come vengono caricate e applicate le impostazioni del formatter; il lavoro è completato quando i commenti usano il valore di Eclipse JDT quando è presente, inclusi i valori diversi da 80.
